I happened to tune into The Peoples Court today. There was a case where this painting contractor had fired this guy and he was suing for wrongful discharge. One of the reasons this guy claimed he was fired was because he saw the contractor urinate in the primer. (Now that I have stopped laughing again) He stated the contractor claimed it went on better with his pee pee in it (Now I am laughing again).
The real funny thing is, From the way the contractor acted. I belive he did. The contractors name was Joe Battle. I don’t think I would hire him.

Urea is a component in some paint bases.
Not so sure about the ammonia, lactic acids and salts. Etc.
The walls smelling a bit 'pissy' might be an issue.
I don't know how a painter advertising that they 'doctor' the paint in this manner might go over. I can see it now:
Hi. I'm Cletus the crazy painter. I piss in all the paint I use. The sign of a top quality job. I use only the finest and freshest urine available. Let me come to your house and spread it on your walls ...
Is that why Killz smells so bad?
I dont mean to sound to serious, because that is very hilarious, but i dont think telling on the guy will help get his job back.
If I was involved, I think I would be more worried about what I, and the clients would contract from the pee pee man....

Not that I'm advocating spreading urine far and wide but unless a person is suffering from a kidney or bladder infection, a condition that would likely be very obvious, urine is quite near to, in practical if not absolute terms, sterile.Cattle urine has ben used for a thousand years by desert tribes to wash themselves and their kids. Actually some studies show urine to be an anti-infective and wounds washed in it may heal faster. As part of field medicine we were taught that if a person had exposed bowels one of the worse thing that can happen is that the exposed bowels dries out. Some burns are similar. They have to be kept moist. While clean clear treated water is preferred urine can usually be safely used. For aesthetic reasons the patient's would be best but effectively there is little difference. Given the sort of contamination present in some third-world locations, hepatitis, dysentery, cholera, etc, urine may be the better choice. One author characterized the local water supply, a river, as being 'unsuitable for putting out fires'. Such was the degree of pollution. In this case, and serious bodily injury being at stake urine would seem to be the better choice.On a more common and practical level a classic treatment for blisters is the patients own urine. From personal experience I can say that it does relieve a lot of the pain and it causes the raw meat to skin over. I hear it may lower the incidence of infection.Might want to keep this treatment to yourself as coworkers might take it the wrong way and are prone to unfortunate choices in vernacular and colorful nomenclature.
" a classic treatment for blisters is the patients own urine. "I don't think the paint had a problem with blistering though

In ancient Egypt, there was a practice of brushing teeth with the stuff.
See, urea is a surfectant, antibacterial as already mentioed, and a bleach.
Ever used the teeth whitening stuff? there is urea in there.
Brush your teeth with it? I don't think so.I might treat a blister or keep a bad burn wet in a pinch but I have limits. Don't know exactly where that line is but I do know that using it as a dentifrice is definitely on the other side.
It's good for bites and stings as well.As for dentifrice...I have heard that many people in China and other places are now drinking their own urine for health reasons.
The person you offend today, may have been your best friend tomorrow
mental or physical health?
Funny you should ask.I ALMOST added... "And probably not for their mental health." LOL (Seems kinda like it would take a wacko to think of, or agree to that, doesn't it ?)

I heard some Indian tribes drank their own urine after eating Peyote to sorta rerun it into their system.
I have a best friend that did that....he said it didn't work....told him thanks for the experiment so I didn't have to try it......echhhh
I can think of better things that are more appatizing.....before I do peyote I drink half a bottle of Pepto Bismal.Funny enough....Ron (Boss Hog) sent me a bottle a few weeks ago (sort of an inside joke tween Ron and me). Well, the second thing I thought of was....where's the Peyote?

'wounds washed in it mat heal faster'You first.
Two flies on a paint bucket
One laughed and the other one got pissed off.
I havent kept up the past day or so, but when I wrote, I was thinking on the lines of an STD or something, which I believe would be picked up after the urine left the body. Have any insight on it?
You dont think hepatitis could be in it?
I have heard within Italian circles, that the babies diaper was the best thing for acne.

the baby's diaper works well because people won't get anywhere near enough to see your complexion
Soiled baby diapers will work well for textured wall finish too methinks, and you'll save a pile on the second paint colour... trying it out, got a big pile right here. Now I have reason not to put them in the landfill.

Did they elaborate on whether this method was useful for oil-based paints as well, or is it just limited to latex?
I've heard of milk-based paints, but I doubt "pee-based" would be non-yellowing. :)

It depends on what you drink the night before LOL
Yeah... could be a nasty explosion if you aren't careful...
I think they should put a caution on the 5 gallon pails of primer... something like if you drink moonshine and wee in the can don't use a power sprayer and smoke at the same time.
